Very surprised he received a game for this. Lots of people letting their Flyer hate cloud their judgement I think.

Weber takes a guy's head in his hand and drives it hard into the boards - no suspension.Ovechkin, a repeat offender, leaves his feet and flies into a guy's head once again - no suspension.Giroux, with no prior offenses, catches a guy's head with a shoulder check (No elbow involved) that was well within the time limits after the puck being released, gets 1 game in the playoffs.

I would be confused as hell playing in this league as to what is and what is not allowed.

Great job Shanahan!

I could see this deserving of 1 game maybe during the regular season, but no way in hell should he have gotten one game in the playoffs. Sorry, but it just was not that dirty.

i think the nhl is a total mess with how they handle suspensions. was this the worst ever hit to the head? no. but it was a hit to the head nonetheless. i think the fact claudia took a fit in the offensive end and continued up ice and delivered the hit played a large role in the one game. shanny says as much on the video.
